Zoloft And Weight Gain
Posted: 06-21-06 10:52am

I have gained like 20 pounds since I have been on zoloft. Has anyone else has this problem? Is it common? What would be a better alternative that you can suggest?

I am on zoloft and I havnt gained weight, I have actually lost weight. But I am also on wellbutrine, its another anti depressant like zoloft. Perhaps you should talk to your doctor about your weight gain and see if there is an alternative thats right for you.
Good luck!

Its a proven fact that anti depressants will slow your metabolism down, even if you exercise. They will also ruin your sex drive, and they are hard to come off of.
